Add antique tags to state's DMV problems

Danedri Thompson dthompson@gardnernews.com When Robert Cook, Gardner, went to the Johnson County Department of Motor Vehicles to tag a 1934 Ford in 2007, he went to the window, showed his vehicle title and insurance information.

Pretty typical. No one knows the law well enough to enforce it in any office. There are a lot of little DMV rules and regulation that don't get interpreted the same way by the KHP and by KDOR. Ask 5 KHP officers and 5 County Treasurers how long you have to transfer registration on a purchased vehicle and you'll get at least 4 different answers. According to State Statute, it's 30 days. I've had customers ticketed after 3 days. I have had several KDOR employees argue that you can't sell a vehicle if you've not received the title from the state. State Statute allows 30 days to produce a title. This deal wit hthe Antique tag doesn't surprise me in the least.
